“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with how Priscilla looked after my dog Piper! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Piper left her very happy! We have already booked Priscilla for our next trip. 5 stars!”
“Peiyi and Gregory took great care of our dogs again. This time was for a nine night stay! I received daily updates and our dogs really bonded with them. We’re happy to have found such great care for our pups.”
“I highly recommend Ken and Irene for dog sitting! Willy stayed with them for 4 nights while I was away and I felt very comfortable leaving him there. I got photo updates every day so I knew he was having a great time there. When he got home he was so tired from having so much fun. I will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”
“Our energetic puppy, Oliver, loved staying with Danielle and Shera. Danielle has a genuine love for dogs. She went above and beyond to ensure that Oliver was well cared for during our first trip out of town. We got plenty of updates, which helped put our minds at ease while traveling. We highly recommend Danielle to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter for their furry family members.”
“Caring family who took our Obie in and treated him very well. Yesenia sent videos of Obie playing, making us feel good and confident that he was having a great time.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy building a connection with each pet I meet. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’ll make their comfort and well-being a priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine, and I’m available full-time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and keeping your pet comfortable in their normal routine. I understand how important consistency and reliable care are, especially when you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual schedule and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important it is to create an environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also have a small Havanese who loves having a furry friend around and can provide friendly companionship for dogs who enjoy being around other pets.
“Deborah and her family were amazing with our 8 month old corgi pup. We had never left him overnight before and were nervous how it would go, but he felt right at home with Deborah. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she is a retired vet tech and presently trains dogs. We knew that Captain would be in great hands and that she could handle his sensitivities. He loved it so much that I think he was sad to leave. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Carol was absolutely awesome! She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and reassured us that our pups were in good hands. She was flexible which we needed as we were hiring her ahead of having our baby who ended up coming early and she was gracious enough to move up our days. When she had questions she would reach out which we appreciated as our pups have skin issues and very sensitive stomachs. Carol and her family love pets and it is so evident by how happy our pups were at pick up and we will 100% be leaving our pups with her again. When we were driving off our pups were crying because they didn't want to leave. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Tammy and her family provided a very warm and caring environment for my 8 1/2-year-old Labrador when we went away. Although my dog was a little scared of her one small doggy who likes to bark to say hello (but is very friendly), they quickly became friends. My dog is used to having me home all day and it was wonderful, not only that Tammy works very close to her home so she can pop in and out, but also that my dog could hang out with Tammy's daughter and dad who live with her, so there is always someone around. I would highly recommend Tammy who is lovely and easy to work with (and most importantly obviously loves dogs). I will definitely use her again!”
“Keisy was great dog sitter and very flexible. Due to schedule changes, we were not able to pick her up in time and she was more than happy to watch her for another day. She sent videos/pictures updates and asked what we are ok with our dog doing like getting on the couch, where she sleeps etc. Would hire her again. Thanks!!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mahwah is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 13,099 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mahwah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Mahwah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mahwah home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mahwah.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mahwah sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
